Yes Peter - this was a world breaking record - In France they had 19 octopussies ( 90 ft. long)) in the air at once , in Seattle,Wa. 20, then here in my little city ...21 !!!!!!!

Yes I love the kites and we always have either the Wind or the fog -lol!!

Take care, and thank you my friend for your comment and congrats !!!!

Thank You for the comment - You're right about the size of these kites - 90 feet means more when you have a comparison -

Hello Bill,

Thank You for your comment my friend -
This was a World Breaking event apparently with all of these kits as well- in Paris they managed to get 19 kites in the air, in Seattle , 20 and here in Lincoln City, Or. 21 all at once - for a short time at least - then we lost the wind and all of them :((

Happy Holiday Week-end Bill !!!
